    To me, Apple products do everything I need and more

    Many other products do the exact same but cost a lower price, and often with more features and at a higher quality. That's why I'm not a fan of the company.

    Take Ipods for instance. Why buy a nano when you can buy a Sansa Fuze, Creative Zen, or Cowon D2?

    Bla bla, yada yada.

    Fact: Plenty of OSes for regular x86s is reasonable stable, even Windows is.

    Fact 2: Plenty of OS X hacks run just as stable as a real mac.

    Fact 3: I have a real mac and Safari still runs like shit.

    Last Leopard upgrade didn't booted on some Macbook Pros because they didn't had the latest firmware didn't it?

    Yeah, if you buy unsupported hardware it won't work, big deal? That don't make them more unstable, just not supported.

    Yeah, regarding other software most of it exist because Apple bought it, killed the Windows version and improved the mac version to make mac exclusive titles.

    Some of them are huge titles among professionals and some could probably become somewhat used among more normal users to, so things like final cut, logic, aperture and so on would probably still be able to hold Apple over the surface even if things went really bad for them with the loss of Steve.
